Many times when I was young, would I be awakened in the middle of the night to a buzzing in my ears......unfortunately, they liked my blood so I was the one who would always get bit! I swear they would track me down, flying around or over Gregg and Joan and find the one with the sweet blood- ME! I always believed it was all the candy I ate (and still do).
When I would be awakened by the incessant buzzing in my ears, I would sit straight up in my bed and immediately run (in the dark) down the hallway to my mom and dad's room, where I would wake up my snoring father..."Daddy, there's a mosquito in my room", which he knew meant that I would not go to sleep until he killed it. I could either sleep with mom and him or he could sleep in peace by killing the little insect. He had to do this many, many times for me.
He would turn my light on, kill it and all would be fine in my world.......
miss you Dad.
